GENESIS CHAPTER TWO
                            -------------------

Verses 1, This leads us to believe that the first chapter is the
  manner in which the heavens (plural) and the earth were created
  and finished, and ALL the hosts of them.

Verses 2-3, God had made the world in six days and rests on the
  seventh. He establishes the seventh day as a day which is set
  apart (sanctified).
  During the time that Moses lead the children of Israel out of
  Egypt, God rained manna from heaven for six days, but on the
  sixth day gave them enough for the Sabbath also.

Verses 4, Uses the word CREATED and MADE. Here we have the first
  use of the name Jehovah(LORD) Elohiym(God).

Verse 5-6, Shows that God made the plants as mature plants and
  not seeds that he planted, in the manner in which they are
  reproduced afterward.
  Not a man to till the ground shows that this is another view of
  the six days of creation, before man was made on the sixth day.
  Shows that before the flood, it did not rain, but the earth was
  watered with a mist.

Verse 7, Man was formed from the dust of the ground, as a potter
  would from clay form a vessel.
    Ro 9:21  Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same
      lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto
      dishonour?
  God then breathed into Adam the breath (spirit) of life.

Verses 8-9, Speaks of the garden called Eden, which was eastward,
  which later came to be known as Babylonia and Persia and is now
  Iraq and Kuwait.
  Here we have the first mention of the two trees.
    1) The tree of life. Which he was allowed to eat and which
       gave him life. (Vs 16)
    2) The tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Which he was
       forbidden to eat. (See vs 17)

Verses 10-14, Speaks of a river that watered the garden, which
  had four heads.
  1) Pison = Piyshown {pee-shone'} = "increase"
     It covered the land of Havilah ("circle").
       A part of Eden through which flowed the river Pison
       (Araxes); was probably the Grecian Colchis, in the
       northeast corner of Asia Minor, near the Caspian Sea.
  2) Gihon = "bursting forth"
     It compasseth the land of Ethiopia (Hebrew = Cush =
     "black").
  3) Hiddekel = Chiddeqel {khid-deh'-kel} = "rapid"
     Better known as the Tigris (the LXX equivalent).
     Coursed east toward Assyria.
  4) Euphrates = "fruitfulness"
     The largest and longest river of western Asia; rises from
     two chief sources in the Armenian mountains and flows into
     the Persian Gulf.

Verse 15, The man is put in the garden to dress (work, till) and
  to keep (have charge over) it.

Verse 16-17, Commonly referred to as the Edenic Covenant.
  Adam was given charge over the garden, to work it and keep it.
  Also we saw earlier that he was to subdue the earth.
  He was commanded not to eat of ONE tree upon pain and penalty
  of death. This was a LAW or COMMANDMENT given to Adam. Death
  was not the mere result of eating a bad tree, play with fire
  and you get burned ("karma"), but the result of disobedience.
  Verse 6 of chapter 3 shows that it was good for food and could
  make one wise.
  It was sin that slew Adam. (spiritually and physically)
    Ro 5:12  Wherefore, as by one man SIN entered into the world,
      and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for
      that all have sinned: {for that: or, in whom}
    Ro 5:17 For if by one man's OFFENCE death reigned by one;...
  What is sin?
    1Jo 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law:
      for sin is the transgression of the law.
  Death: spiritual and physical. Ro 5:12 tells us that DEATH
  passed upon all men due to Adam's sin. Eph 2:1 shows that the
  believer has been quickened from a spiritually dead state.

Verse 18-22, Jehovah God makes woman from man. God makes an help
  meet (or fit) for him.
    1Co 11:8  For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of
      the man. 9  Neither was the man created for the woman; but
      the woman for the man.
    Goes on to say:
      11  Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman,
      neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. 12  For as
      the woman [is] of the man, even so [is] the man also by the
      woman; but all things of God.
  In these verses Adam names all the creatures, and sees that
  they all had a mate, but for him there was not found a help
  meet for him.
  Jehovah then forms the woman from Adam's rib.

Verse 23-25, God institutes marriage.
  Called "woman" because she was taken out of Man.
  Marriage is the institution whereby a man and a woman become
  one flesh.
  Gen 2:25  And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and
    were not ashamed.
  Jesus said,
    Mr 10:2  And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it
      lawful for a man to put away [his] wife? tempting him. 3
      And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command
      you? 4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of
      divorcement, and to put [her] away. 5  And Jesus answered
      and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote
      you this precept. 6  But from the beginning of the creation
      God made them male and female. 7  For this cause shall a
      man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8
      And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more
      twain, but one flesh. 9  What therefore God hath joined
      together, let not man put asunder.
